There is not much canon with {Suv} taking an object.
muSuvbogh DoS vIpoQ
I need a target that fights back.
HQ v8n4p11 (referring to ST5: Scene 48
noH Suv
He/she fights a war KGT 47

He/she fights a battle KGT 47
muSuvbogh DoS vIpoQ.
I need a target that fights back.

I've always wanted to engage a Federation ship.

loghDaq lupDujHom qoDDaq bIlengtaHvIS, nIbuQbogh novpu' DaSuv.
Battle menacing aliens in a shuttlecraft journey through space
[Star Trek: The Experience]
From these examples, the only attested objects of {Suv} are:
{Duj} ship, {DoS} target, {may'} battle, {noH} war, {novpu'} aliens
I think this is the best example of {A Suv B}:
muSuvbogh DoS vIpoQ.
I need a target that fights back.
[lit.: I require a target that fights me.]
I thought we'd have lots of canon of Klingons fighting Romulans and such, but
I don't see any of that.
